KNOW YOUR CARD Front of the Card: Your Name: Only you are authorized to use your card. Please check that the name on the card matches with your name. If there are any discrepancies, call the Bank's Customer Care Centre immediately. Card Number: Your card carries an unique 16 digit card number. Please write down the Card number and keep it in a safe place, this will help you in notifying us in case of theft or loss of your card. You should quote the card number in all your communications with the Bank so that we can attend to it quickly. 1
Validity period: Your card is valid from the date you receive it till the last day of the month embossed on the card. VISA Hologram & Logo: Your card is backed by the international reputation and the extensive network of VISA and are accepted at all merchant establishments accepting VISA cards worldwide. You can also withdraw cash through VISA member bank ATMs. Chip: This special embedded feature in your Corp Bank International Credit Card allows you to transact with ease besides providing additional security to your card. Back of the Card: Signature Panel: You must sign on the signature panel on the back of the card immediately on receipt, with a non-erasable ballpoint pen (preferably in black ink). This will ensure that no one else will misuse the card at Merchant Establishments. Magnetic Stripe: This stripe has built in security features. You should not stretch, bend or expose the card to magnetic fields as this may prevent the stripe from functioning properly. 000 CVV Number CHIP CARD: The Chip Card is the new global payment standard. It offers the highest level of security. The embedded chip in your credit card helps in protecting against counterfeiting and skimming card frauds. The chip card as compared to a normal magnetic stripe card has to remain in the terminal until the transaction is authenticated. Thus, there will not be any opportunity for foul play till the transaction is completed. The chip card also uses encryption algorithms for authentication of the card, thereby making it hard to counterfeit. CHIP CARD OPERATION: A chip card is just like a normal credit card, but with the addition of an embedded microchip. The same is to be inserted into a Point-of-Sale [POS] card reader as against to a regular swipe. The chip cards process data securely and make it virtually impossible to copy or tamper with the data. More and more merchants these days have the equipment that accepts the chip cards. 2
The Chip card is not swiped but dipped. i.e., inserted in the chip reader in the POS machine. Hence, the card has to be dipped and you have to enter the PIN for completing the transaction. The Chip Card will also have the magnetic strip just in case some merchants are yet to make a transition to a terminal capable of reading the chip and also for use in ATM. Therefore, cardholders will still be able to use their cards everywhere as they use them today. How does the Chip Card work? 1. The merchant dips the Card into the card reader, in the POS Terminal. 2. The merchant enters the amount to be paid by you. 3. Entry of PIN. 4. On verifying the amount, the receipt will be printed. 5. The merchant hands over the receipt along with the Chip Card. 3
CHIP CARD DO'S AND DON'T'S: In case the merchant's terminal supports chip, ensure that the card is dipped in the POS terminal during purchase and not swiped. There are merchants with older technology terminals and also ATMs and hence your card can also be swiped as usual. In case the chip is not working, please call our customer care centre. Never bend the card or damage the card. Do not expose your card to magnets and magnetic fields such as handbag clasps, electronic items, speakers etc. 3. SAFETY TIPS FOR USING YOUR CARD: Please follow these simple security steps to keep your card out of harm's way and protect yourself against any inconveniences with unauthorized transactions. General Safety Tips Write down your card number in a safe place at home. This will make it easier for you to quickly report a lost or stolen card. Always sign your card at the signature panel in the back in black ink as soon as you receive it. Take care not to bend or scratch the card. At home keep your card in a safe place that won't be obvious to burglars. No one should have access to the card except you. Please notify us at our Customer Care Centre in case your card is lost / stolen/captured in any ATM. Note down the contact numbers of Customer Care Centre for reporting the loss or theft of your credit card and keep the number at home, in your purse or wallet and at your office so that you will be prepared to call immediately if required. Keep track of when the new and re-issued cards should arrive, and call the Call Centre if they don't come in time. Never leave your card with anyone or leave behind it as security deposit. Never give your card number to strangers or tele-marketers who call you on phone. Before you send your card back to the Bank, for cancelling the same, please cut the card into two pieces. Precautions at Merchant Establishments: Always ensure that you get your card back after the transaction is over. Don't let merchants write down your card number as confirmation on bills or vouchers. Take all card receipts and carbons with you, especially from places like supermarkets and self service gas pumps. Keep receipts from all your card purchases for verification in case of dispute. 4
At the time of discarding the receipts, make sure to tear the receipts into tiny pieces. Precautions while using at ATMs: Avoid using the ATM if you sense suspicious persons or circumstances, particularly at late night hours. Enter your PIN carefully without mistake. For reasons of security, on exceeding 3 attempts with a wrong PIN, your card will be blocked by the ATM. (For unblocking the card, please call the Customer Care center). Always take your transaction receipts with you to keep your account information confidential. The transaction slip should be scrutinized for any discrepancies. Any dispute in this matter can be verified and the Bank will take corrective action only on producing the transaction slip. Safety of Personal Identification Number (PIN): PIN is a secret four digit code, which is assigned by the Bank to you. You are required to enter this PIN to avail the ATM services and to complete the POS transaction using your card. Memorise your PIN. Please don't write down your PIN in any place which may enable a third party to use the Card. (e.g. on the back of the card or in the wallet). Don't use the same PIN for all your cards, and don't choose an easily identifiable number such as your birth date or address. Change the PIN periodically and frequently at your convenience but specifically if you believe that someone else knows your PIN. Do not disclose the PIN to any person, including the officials of the Bank under any circumstances. Please take all precautions to prevent anyone else seeing your PIN, while entering the same in an ATM/POS terminal. The security of PIN is very important. If you fail to observe these security requirements, the card is liable for any unauthorized use. Any transactions using the Corp Bank International Credit Card and the PIN shall be deemed to be instructions given by you and the Bank shall be entitled to assume that those transactions were undertaken by you. You can change the PIN (to a 4-digit number of your choice) through Corporation Bank ATMs. Verified By VISA [VBV]: Verified by VISA is a service from VISA and Corporation Bank that lets you shop online securely with your existing VISA credit card by means of a password to protect your online transactions just like you use your PIN at ATM/POS. Registration for Verified by VISA is mandatory for online transactions with the merchants located in India. Visit www.corpbank.com Cards to register. Do make full use of these very essential security features that have been put 5
in place to help you transact better, safer and without any agony. In case, you happen to have any query regarding the same, do feel free to contact the customer care centre for assistance. During the process of Verified by VISA process an OTP will be sent to your mobile no. or Email ID as per the option you choose during the process and the same is to be entered in website to complete the transaction. The introduction of the OTP during the Verified by VISA process ensured the safety and security of the credit card. 4.

You will be receiving your PIN mailer within seven days from the receipt of the card. If you do not receive the PIN mailer within this period, please call up our Customer Care Center.
